Firstly, others have had the same problem getting screenshots of their video files, and nothing gave me any resolution to the problem. Second, the build is plain querky, for me anyway.
I was doing some main menu customization, and all the sudden, my ability to modify any of the sub-menus just up and vanished! The option "Manage Submenu" totally disappeared from the settings GUI. Can you believe that? Just like that, Poof, gone......
I was so disgusted that I was willing to try from scratch, but strange as this will sound, even with a new installation of the build, and the skin, there was no option to manage the submenu in any of the main menu entries. I'm either losing my mind, or I've been at this too long....
I double-checked by using the stock Kodi with your skin, and sure enough, the option is there. I'm not going crazy, I don't think ( It's always a possibility, however)
So, for now, I just give up. It takes a lot for me to say those words, but this time, I will concede defeat.
Mike, I'm just going to stick with the vanilla Kodi 15 and your skin. Less headaches all the way around..
The submenu problem would have nothing to do with DSPlayer. That is handled by files in skin.aeon.nox.5/1080i. The picture quality with DSPlayer and almost any gaming graphics card is head and shoulders above DVDPlayer.
To me, the minor quirks of DSPlayer are worth the compromise for the high-end audio and video you get. I wrote the set-up guide and know quite a bit about madVR. It is as good as it gets in HTPC rendering - as good as a $1000 Oppo Blu-ray player. Skins should function as they do before, perhaps with the exception of screen captures because madVR launches like an external app and takes over the screen focus. The renderer is written as its own D3D9 device. Any quirks relate to madVR and Kodi rendering alongside each other during fullscreen playback.
